ever since I got my hands on the first MINI sets from Star Wars, I felt there needed to be representations of the characters. I ended up using 3 1*1 round plates stacked upon eachother to represent a clone trooper etc.Sadly, those weren't really much of a representation.

This year, I began thinking about using smaller versions of things to use in the background of MOCs. (to give the idea of perspective) I used this in my latest brickfilm, by making MINI planes.

Since the planes had open cockpits, I chose to add a pilot to it. Eventually this pilot became a figure, and while trying several things, I found a design I liked.

These little figures stand an average 7 plates tall. By using 1*1 plates for the torso and feet, and 1*1 round plates for the legs and head, you can make a distinction between those parts, even on this scale. The most important part is that MINI MOCs, who are sometimes in different scales, now have something to base it's scale on.
